Cygnar Gold

I really like having painted models on the table. I don't like having to do several steps to get those models on the table. The The Forces of Cygnar book's solution for Cygnar gold involves 5 steps and seven colors. I'm not into that, I'm a three step maximum kind of guy (and one of those steps better involve and ink, wash, or dry brushing). To create a happy medium for all the gold Cygnar likes to use, I came up with this.

Get one of these, just an empty pot will do.

You are going to mix P3 Blighted Gold, with Citadel Color Shining Gold at a 70/30 ratio. Secure the cap, and shake the living hell out of it. Remember you are mixing liquid and powder pigment so to really make it mesh you need to really shake the hell out of it. It should come out to something like this:

If you want more shiny then just add more Shining Gold. I also add water a couple of drops at a time till I get to the consistency that I prefer to paint with. For a side by side comparison you can see how this looks on the same model as the one in the book.

So there it is, my take on Cygnar Gold in one step.

Journeyman League

We and almost done with the Journeyman League at our store and really I do not have a ton to show for it. Looks like I will have scored a total of 13 painting points for the league. I painted the Black 13th Strike Team, and all my wreck markers.

Ever since I started having to fight against Hordes, I am using these a lot more.

BTdubbs I finished the Cyclone.

The Cyclone came out excellent. The touch and tone primer was a great surface to paint on. Here is the final result, he just needs to be based and sealed and he will be good to go.

The Cyclone: frustrating infantry, and looking good doing it.
